The "Dancing with the Stars" cast has officially been announced. With all of the rumors flying around there were not too many surprises when the new cast appeared on "Good Morning America" on Feb. 26. However, as PEOPLE points out (by leaving out), there was one cast member previously reported to have "signed on" to the show who was missing, so to speak.
"Bachelor" Sean Lowe will not be dancing on the new season of the ABC show. Although it was first rumored that former "Bachelorette" star, Emily Maynard, would try on a pair of dancin' shoes, Lowe sounded like a definite based on spoiler reports. However, that's not the case. In fact, there aren't any "Bachelor/ette" alums on the new season at all.
The "Dancing with the Stars" cast includes some reality stars, a couple of athletes, and some actors. Check out the list of new cast members and their dance pro partners below.
Boxer Victor Ortiz and new pro Lindsay Arnold
Singer Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough
Country star Wynonna Judd and Tony Dovolani
Soap star Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson
Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman and Valentin Chmerkovskiy
Comedian Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess
Reality star Lisa Vanderpump and new pro Gleb Savchenko
Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas
Olympic skater Dorothy Hamill and Tristan MacManus
Comedian D.L. Hughley and Cheryl Burke
NFL star Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff
The "Dancing with the Stars" cast is already screaming favorites. Naturally Derek Hough is a favorite by himself so Kellie Pickler has a good shot at staying in the game. Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas will likely go far as well. Who do you think will win this season of DWTS?
